Professor Phillip Goodman devotes his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans. His skepticism soon gets put to the test when he receives news of three chilling and inexplicable cases -- disturbing visions in an abandoned asylum, a car accident deep in the woods and the spirit of an unborn child. Even scarier -- each of the macabre stories seems to have a sinister connection to the professor's own life.

Critics Consensus

Ghost Stories offers a well-crafted, skillfully told horror anthology that cleverly toys with genre tropes while adding a few devilishly frightful twists.

A real layer cake, this horror lark from British TV guys Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman.

The Age (Australia)

It's a letdown to find that there's nothing at the bottom of a box of tricks which in themselves are not as clever as they could have been.

Rated: 2/5

The Australian

This is a low-tech affair, and all the more interesting for it. You never know quite where it's going, but it doesn't let up for a moment.

Rated: 4/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

The over-caffeinated and desensitized segment of genre fans might call it boring, while the veterans who remember effective minimalism will be squeezed by the twisted nerve leading to solid suspense.

Rated: 4/5

Vague Visages

Ghost Stories is refreshingly old-fashioned in its embrace of classical horror techniques. Ultimately, Nyman and Dyson’s film is so full-bloodedly cinematic that it leaves one wondering how on earth they captured this on the stage.

It definitely molds itself some way completely different and gives a great, great payoff.

Sinceramente le tenia fe pero no me mantuvo en suspenso para ser una película de terror solo el 2do caso me gusto de ahi en fuera todo se me hizo como si fueran episodios de la serie escalofrios (que eso no es malo ) pero esperaba que diera mas miedo por los comentarios que leí de miedo le doy un 6/10 si en el caso 2 hubieramos visto al hermano que vive arriba bien seria 7/10 pero le temieron al exito

Spooky, unsettling & impeccably staged, Ghost Stories is a great British horror film that does invite a few rewatches, but the ending is sure to be polarizing.
